What is the best way to export a high poly 3D model?

When exporting a high poly 3D model, the best approach is to pick a detail-preserving format (such as OBJ, FBX, or STL) and tweak settings to match your needs—like enabling UVs for texturing or keeping normals for rendering. OBJ is ideal for static models with textures, FBX works for rigged/animated ones, and STL is best for 3D printing—all retain high-poly details without excess compression. For beginners, test exporting a small section first to ensure details stay intact, then export the full model.
